Ignis Starts Reaching Dealerships; Brochure Reveals 9 Colour Options

Ignis, which is scheduled to be launched in India on 13th of January is the next big thing from Maruti. The funky car, which is touted to be a replacement for Ritz, has already got a lot of positive hype around it, despite sporting one of the worst rear designs. Bookings of the car have opened and there is already a speculated waiting period and this before the prices are announced.

And before its launch the car has already started reaching dealerships, signified by this spotting at a dealership by a Team-bhp member.

Maruti has also put up the official brochure of the car which reveals all the specs, variants and colours Ignis will be available in.

Quick Pointers

There is no base ‘Sigma’ variant for Ignis diesel. However, Ignis petrol will start with ‘Sigma’ – primarily done to keep the entry cost low. Baleno is offered with the Sigma variant on both diesel and petrol.

AMT is offered in both the mid variants – Zeta and Delta. Top of the line Alpha variant, for some reason, doesn’t get the option of AMT. This is uniform across the fuel options. This is the same strategy they follow for Baleno which may have worked. However, we believe Delta and Alpha should be offered with AMT options for proper differentiation and wider appeal.

There are a few ‘Taxi’ variants which probably hints at the fact that Maruti has got Ignis registered for commercial taxi market as well.

Though the Ignis is going to Nexa, sensibly it should be placed under Swift, right in the gap the omission of Ritz has created. Maruti has officially confirmed that there will be no SHVS for now and the all-grip AWD is also not being considered.
